Well the past three days I have been a captive audience to a powerful story. I did manage to go the grocery store yesterday, munchies are a must when couching it. Just needing a frosty REAL diet coke to make it perfect! I went to grab my wallet and I looked in my bag and couldn't see my kindle-- panic struck for 15 seconds until I found it. I wondered what this book was doing to me! I was teary as I finished.. the story, language, a long journey that has left me with words and images still floating in my head.....
"Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, 'Wait and Hope.”
― Alexandre Dumas
"Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes."
--Alexandre Dumas
"For in prosperity prayers seem but a mere medley of words, until misfortune comes and the unhappy sufferer first understands the sublime language in which he invokes the pity of heaven."
--Alexandre Dumas
“Woman is sacred; the woman one loves is holy.”
― Alexandre Dumas,
“Abbe Faria: Here is your final lesson - do not commit the crime for which you now serve the sentence. God said, Vengeance is mine.
Edmond Dantes: I don't believe in God.
Abbe Faria: It doesn't matter. He believes in you. ”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
